问题     Britain may not always check【C1】______properly, but it is sadly good at erecting other barriers in front of people who want to visit the country. At a recent British-Turkish conference, the【C2】______of Britain’ s visa policy【C3】______many complaints. The British embassy’ s website suggests applying for a visa any time up to three months【C4】______, but Turks at the meeting complained that they had no hope of getting one unless they applied at least 30 days before travelling.
    Many embassies and consulates ask visitors to apply for visas online—difficult for those without easy internet【C5】______. Then they must make an【C6】______at a visa application centre, which could be thousands of miles away. Russia has five centres, all in the south-west corner of the country. For those in the rest of the Russian【C7】______, the months it can take to get an appointment at least give them time to organise getting to it. Iraqis are less fortunate. The British embassy in Baghdad does not【C8】______visas, so they have to travel to Lebanon, Jordan or Turkey to apply.
    It is an expensive business, too. Syrians who wish to live in London have to pay 6,100 Syrian pounds(£ 78, or $123), half a month’ s【C9】______salary. That is assuming they don’t have to pay extra to get all their documentation translated from Arabic into English. Russian officials complain about the cost of【C10】______British visas in their country, which can reach £300. The forms are long. Again, America is cheaper and easier.
A)access B)total C)appointment D)obtaining
E)provoked F)easiness G)in time H)produce
I)average J)vastness K)enormous L)passports
M)rigidity N)in advance O)issue
【C2】

选项

答案M

解析 根据上下文可知这里要填一个修饰英国签证政策的名词.rigidity的意思是“刻板,僵化”。用在这里的意思是讲英国签证政策的刻板。easiness的意思“容易”.放在这里会前后矛盾。因此选rigidity。
